The demand for dark fiber is indeed increasing due to the rollout of 5G networks. 5G technology requires a significant increase in the number of cell towers and other network infrastructure, and this requires a high-speed and reliable connection between these towers and the core network. In addition to cost-effectiveness, dark fiber is easy to access, as it is typically available in urban areas where fiber optic infrastructure has already been installed. This makes it a convenient option for organizations seeking to expand their network capacity without the need to invest in the installation of new fiber optic cables.
Dark fiber is a cost-effective and efficient way to provide this connectivity, as it can provide the necessary bandwidth and low-latency connectivity required for 5G networks. With dark fiber, network operators can have greater control over their network infrastructure and the bandwidth they require and can avoid the potential slowdowns and security risks associated with sharing a public network.
In addition, 5G networks are expected to drive the growth of new technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles, all of which require fast and reliable connectivity. Dark fiber can provide the necessary bandwidth and low-latency connectivity to support these technologies, making it an important part of the 5G infrastructure.
Overall, the demand for dark fiber is increasing due to the need for high-speed and reliable connectivity to support the growth of 5G networks and the technologies that rely on them.
